MARK CROFT TRIO

The Mark Croft Trio delivers the dynamic energy of a full band in a refined, acoustic-forward format, complete with foot-stomping porch-board rhythms, rich three-part harmonies, and a sound far bigger than the sum of its parts. Their repertoire spans Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, and Chris Stapleton to Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, and The Beatles, delivering familiar favorites with a fresh, authentic twist. Together, the Mark Croft Trio brings a powerful, engaging live experience that resonates with audiences across genres and generations.

Fronted by Mark Croft, a 16-time Madison Area Music Award-winning performer and acoustic guitarist, the trio showcases the artistry of a musician who has been performing full-time since 2005. Crofts high-energy blend of Roots, Rock, and Americana highlights both his original songwriting and his distinctive interpretations of classics. A celebrated songwriter and vocalist, Croft has released six albums of original material, with more on the way. He is joined by multi-instrumentalist Jon Vriesacker, whose talent on violin, electric guitar, and acoustic and electric mandolins adds depth and versatility to the groups sound, and by seasoned bassist Dan Kennedy, whose experience and groove anchor the trios rhythmic foundation.
